If he can get to that status to me that's the best way I can see the Lakers appeasing Bron and giving Bronny leverage to leave after his Dad is gone. I haven't followed much college ball this year, so what I've heard about this draft class makes me say draft Bronny

I’m sure JJ would make a good coach but the problem is that he has no NBA coaching experience atm and we’d expect him to be great in 2 years or less

Its just unrealistic expectations

True, I am not the biggest fan of hiring JJ either. I want to find the humor in it though because I find it likely we go there.

I have a feeling thats what we’ll do too

"The initial wave of requests for interview permission will be with those the organization hasn't met with in previous searches, or simply knows less than other candidates

In Pelinka's conversations with officials across the league, the term "grinder" keeps coming up in the general manager's description of an important characteristic for the next coach, sources said.

The initial interview list is expected to include assistant candidates such as Miami's Chris Quinn and New Orleans' James Borrego, sources said.

The search is expected to proceed in stages with this first wave, then a period of talking to coaches with whom the Lakers have more history, followed by a whittling of the list to a final round of candidates, sources said."

Cleveland showing Bron love

He can shoot, pass, and defend

That's all you need

We need to kick Seth Curry tires

Kyrie at least 4x better than D'Lo

We should have went all out for Kyrie when he was leaving Brooklyn. His stock was low

Lebron did choose Ham! Ham was a Lebron yes man!!!! Vogel was done dirty by Lebron!!! Man should have never been fired

Hoping the Cleveland rumors are true

We did Joe tsai was just petty and traded him to Dallas

Yeah, unfortunately Tsai another racist

Just announce JJ already lmao

Coach K consulting hmm.. the Duke connection is deep. We’ve heard Lebron previously say if given an opportunity, he wish he played for Coach K etc. and Shams mentioned about after these next two years, Lakers are going to pivot to AD from Lebron and put an emphasis on player development.. all of this still rings assembling a staff for Bronny’s development and others. But I honestly think it’s Redick

CASSELL

its whatever at this point, doesnt matter who they hire if rob puts together another flawed ass roster again

RT

If they can’t find a coach, how can one put faith in building a roster?

We won a chip with him as GM so excuse me for having some faith lol

I do think although the roster was flawed, we could've been better if we had had a competent coach that would've played Wood and Christie over Hayes and Reddish and not started the season giving Taurean Prince 30 mpg.

Remember when Darvin was playing Rui 15 mpg and Taurean 30+ lol…good times

I just want a coach who players respect and want to play for. Darvin clearly wasnt that guy based on the player voting
